Hi, |
2 |
I backed up my wife's home directory using tar in preparation to |
3 |
moving her to a new machine but I don't remember the exact command I |
4 |
used to do the tar command. When I tried to untar on the new machine |
5 |
it failed to do anything. (except use 30 minutes of CPU time...) |

|
7 |
MacMini home # tar -xjf /mnt/cdrom/evelyn.20100214.tar.bz2 /home/evelyn/ |
8 |
tar: /home/evelyn: Not found in archive |
9 |
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors |

MacMini home # |

12 |
I'm currently running |
13 |
|
14 |
tar -tz /mnt/cdrom/evelyn.20100214.tar.bz2 |
15 |
|
16 |
and it's been going 15 minutes without writing anything to the screen. |
17 |
I assume that I need to list the contents of the tar file to figure |
18 |
out how to untar but I'm really not sure. |

|
20 |
How do I best proceed? |

Thanks, |
